I did not have a closer look on that board, I only noticed it now reviewing my photos. What is this card with the BNC connectors
That appears to be the Octane Digital Video (DIVO) option board.

That's an old-school fibre channel board using copper cabling. 1Gbit/sec, first generation fibre channel, and not really interoperable with fibre channel that uses fibre optic cabling. They were used for connecting directly to fibre channel storage.
